<B><FONT size=2 face="Arial">23 November 2016</FONT></B></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto has reached an agreement to sell its assets at Lochaber, Scotland to SIMEC for consideration totalling &#36;410 million (&#163;330 million).</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">The sale purchase agreement comprises the sale of Rio Tinto&#146;s 100 per cent shareholding in Alcan Aluminium UK Limited which includes the operating smelter, the hydroelectric facilities at Kinlochleven and Lochaber as well as all associated land.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto Aluminium chief executive Alf Barrios said &#147;This is a value-creating sale for Rio Tinto and represents another example of refining our portfolio to focus on our suite of tier one assets.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;At the same time, our priority has been to ensure a long-term sustainable future for Lochaber and economic benefit for the wider Fort William community. There was significant interest in the assets, but SIMEC is committed to continuing operations at the smelter and working with the community on further economic development.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">SIMEC&#146;s intention is that the smelter will be operated by the Liberty House Group, its sister company within the international GFG Alliance.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">GFG Alliance strategic board executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta said &#147;This is a significant boost to our renewables portfolio and will be another major step towards reducing our carbon footprint in metals production.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;This is a natural next step for us in our Scottish investment programme and is a springboard for wider manufacturing growth, creating many more jobs in Scotland. We are grateful for the continuing support of the Scottish Government and for their far-sighted approach to industry."</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">The Scottish Government&#146;s Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy and Connectivity Fergus Ewing said &#147;I am delighted at this news from Rio Tinto today. The sale of both the smelter and hydro power station increases the chance of the site having a viable, long-term future.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;This is great news for the whole local community and especially for the workers at the smelter. Subject to all necessary agreed processes, the deal implemented will safeguard 150 jobs and has the potential to create hundreds more.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;I want to thank Rio Tinto for their positive engagement with Ministers and officials throughout the process and I will be sorry to see the company move out of Scotland after such a long association.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;With GFG Alliance, incorporating SIMEC and the Liberty House Group, as the successful bidder, I look forward to an exciting new chapter in the history of the Lochaber complex, with the UK&#146;s last remaining aluminium smelter at Fort William continuing as a key component of Scotland&#146;s industrial capability and a major source of employment in the Highlands and Islands. We have built up excellent working relations with Liberty House in our successful dealings in Dalzell and Clydebridge. Now a new exciting chapter of industrial development is set to begin.&#148;</FONT></P>

<B><FONT size=3 face="Arial">Rio Tinto outlines new &#36;5 billion productivity push under long-term strategy focused on cash generation</FONT></B></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<B><FONT size=2 face="Arial">24 November 2016</FONT></B></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto has committed to generating &#36;5 billion of additional free cash flow over the next five years from a productivity drive unveiled today as part of its long-term strategy.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">In a presentation at an investor seminar in Sydney, Rio Tinto chief executive J-S Jacques underlined the strategy centred around a strong focus on safety, cash generation, a world-class portfolio, commitment to capital discipline and the delivery of superior shareholder returns.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto intends to raise productivity across its &#36;50 billion portfolio of assets by focusing on operational excellence to generate superior shareholder returns through the cycle. This is expected to generate a total &#36;5 billion of further free cash flow by the end of 2021 in addition to the cash cost reduction target of &#36;2 billion across 2016 and 2017.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">J-S Jacques said &#147;Our strategy plays to our strengths: world-class assets, a strong balance sheet along with commercial and operating excellence. A relentless focus on generating cash, together with capital discipline - prioritising value over volume - means that investors can expect us to deliver superior shareholder returns whilst continuing to invest through the cycle. We have the right team and performance culture in place to deliver this strategy.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;We have placed our assets at the heart of the business to drive improved performance and ensure our resilience through the cycle. We are well on track to meet our target of &#36;2 billion of cash cost savings by the end of next year. We are also taking advantage of any opportunity to generate value from mine through to market. Lifting the productivity on our &#36;50 billion asset base creates a low risk and highly attractive return. It will deliver an additional &#36;5 billion of free cash flow over the next five years.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">&#147;We are continuing to reshape our portfolio. Following our announcement yesterday that we will sell our Lochaber smelter in Scotland for &#36;410 million, the total of agreed divestments in 2016 now stands at &#36;1.3 billion.&#148;</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">In addition to improving the performance of its asset base, Rio Tinto is also committed to investing in growing the business. In the near term, this will be delivered via three high-quality growth projects &#150;Silvergrass (Iron Ore in Western Australia), Amrun (Bauxite in Queensland) and Oyu Tolgoi (Copper and Gold in Mongolia). This investment underpins an annual average copper equivalent growth in excess of two per cent between 2015 and 2025. Longer term, exploration remains a priority for Rio Tinto, with a commitment to maintain the Group&#146;s successful exploration programme.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-align: left;">
<FONT size=2 face="Arial">Rio Tinto is committed to maintaining an appropriate balance between investment in the business and cash returns to shareholders. We expect total cash returns to shareholders over the longer term to be in a range of 40 to 60 per cent of underlying earnings in aggregate through the cycle.</FONT></P>
